Convert JPEG to WebP →JPEG vs JPG - What's the Difference?
Nothing. They're the same format. "JPEG" stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. "JPG" exists because older Windows systems (DOS) only allowed 3-character extensions. Both use the same compression algorithm, both produce identical files.
So whether your files end in .jpeg or .jpg, our converter handles both.
How to Convert JPEG to WebP

FAQ
Can I convert animated JPEGs?
JPEGs don't support animation. If you have an animated image, it's likely a GIF or APNG. WebP does support animation though - so if you need animated images with better compression, WebP is a great choice.
Will my EXIF data be preserved?
Our browser-based converter strips EXIF data by default (which is good for privacy - it removes GPS coordinates, camera info, etc.). If you need to preserve EXIF, use command-line tools like cwebp.
